Indonesia–New Zealand relations are foreign bilateral relations between Indonesia and New Zealand. Having common interests as democracies and neighbours in the Asia Pacific region, New Zealand and Indonesia are viewed as natural partners. Both countries are members of APEC. Indonesia and New Zealand officially established diplomatic relations in 1950. New Zealand has an embassy in Jakarta and Indonesia has an embassy in Wellington.
Economy and trade
Indonesia’s commodity exports consist mainly of energy products and minerals as well as lumber and agriculture. These items share virtually no overlap with New Zealand’s temperate-climate agricultural and forestry export products, making the two nations a natural fit for trade in terms of comparative advantage. Trade has been made even easier by the ASEAN Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, which came into force for New Zealand in December 2009 and at the start of this 2012 for Indonesia. The deal will eliminate tariffs on all imported goods by 2020. Traditionally Indonesia viewed New Zealand as the source of meat and dairy products, such as beef, milk, and cheese, a role that also shared with Australia.
In 2012, New Zealand’s exports to Indonesia reached NZ$856 million, while Indonesia’s exports to New Zealand was at NZ$724 million. Total two-way trade for 12 months to June 2012 was NZ$1.58 billion. Indonesia was New Zealand’s 13th largest trading partner for goods trade.
Culture and education
New Zealand has placed a new emphasis on education in its bilateral ties with Indonesia by expanding cooperations between universities, offering more scholarships and holding education fairs. The number of Indonesian students in the island nation is now 800 out of 100,000 international students.
